Musicians of Change (PGCEi)

Teaching a child how to play an instrument can be rewarding, but we know it can also be hard, especially in a group setting where you might have limited support.

If you are a dedicated musician, trying to make music accessible to every child you teach, no matter what their background, then Musicians of Change (PGCEi) in partnership with and accredited by Birmingham City University is designed with you in mind.
